Worksheets 4: Regardons la télé! (Let s watch television!) Look at the television schedule for Thursday, June 20, and Friday, June 21, on page 42. Remember that in France schedules are written on a 24-hour clock: 00 is used for midnight; 00:30 would be 12:30 a.m. All the times from 1:00 a.m. until 12:59 p.m. are written the same way as in the United States except that the French use a period instead of a colon (12.15 or 12h15 rather than 12:15). When you are reading a schedule like these TV schedules, subtract 12 from the hours 13 23 to find out what time in the afternoon or evening the program will begin.
